I have found out these birds are Barn Swallows and they only build their nests on/in manmade built structures, hence their name. We have had to fill in the eaves of our front porch because of these birds. My son in law just finished painting the wood Brian filled it in with yesterday, cuz if its not painted then the carpenter bees come and drill holes in it for their nest/hive. If the wood is treated they don't mess with it. If it's not the birds then it's the bees, lol Hope the snakes stay away this year...
These birds keep sitting up under our porch roof, this morning they appeared to be sleeping there. There is no nest, and they aren't trying to build one either. The opposite side of our porch we had to fill in the ledge cuz the some different birds were trying to build a nest on it. These birds in the picture, are different looking than the others were. No clue what kind of birds these are.
